Have I said how much I appreciate all my friends on this board!! I do know that my machine quilted quilts are not second class at all. It does make me sad that there are still quilters who will look down on another's work just because it is different from theirs. Oh my, wouldn't those quilt police be shocked if I said that some of my machine quilting was actually done on my Tin Lizzie! So friends-- let us celebrate our differences and encourage one another in our work. I relish seeing everyone's quilts and projects on this board. We are quilters, and we make a difference in other's lives. We should all be proud of what we do.
